1 General Questions
How is this different from Wix or Squarespace?
Those are DIY tools - you still have to build it, write the content, figure out SEO, and maintain it yourself. We build your SmartWebsite for you, write SEO content every month, and handle all the tech. You get results without the headaches.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. All our plans are month-to-month. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. You stay because it works, not because you're trapped.
Do I need to be tech-savvy?
Not at all. If you can answer a few questions about your business and check your email, you have all the skills you need. We handle 100% of the technical work.
What if I need changes to my website?
Unlimited updates are included in every plan. Need to add a service? Change your hours? Update photos? Just ask. No hourly fees, no "change request" forms.
How is AI involved? Is it going to replace the personal touch?
AI handles the repetitive tasks - answering common questions, responding to inquiries at 2 AM, sending review requests. It frees you up to focus on the personal touch where it matters most: serving your customers face-to-face.
I've been burned by web designers before. Why should I trust you?
We get it. That's why we don't lock you into contracts, offer a 30-day trial built into setup, and have 24/7 live human support. We succeed when you succeed. No hidden fees, no surprises, no disappearing after launch.

5 The Process
How long does it take to build my website?
Most SmartWebsites launch within 2 weeks. We'll gather information about your business, design your site, and have you live before you know it.
What information do you need from me?
Just the basics: your business details, services you offer, photos if you have them (we can source stock photos if not), and any specific preferences. We make it easy with a simple questionnaire.
Can I see my website before it goes live?
Yes! We'll share a preview link so you can review everything before launch. You'll have the opportunity to request changes before going live.
What happens after my website launches?
That's when the magic begins. We monitor performance, publish SEO content monthly, handle all updates, and provide ongoing support. Your SmartWebsite keeps working for you every day.
